Gaming through December!

So, it's the last month of the year, and the holidays are closing in fast. So, I personally thought it would be fun to try to complete as many games as possible in this last month of the year. How about we make it a bit of a challenge? How many games can we all complete in the course of one month? DLC is of course allowed to be counted as well.

At least it wouldn't be bad to clear out a few games from the backlog before the gigantic Steam sale... ;)

Don't have too much gaming time these (couple of years) days, but I think I'll be able to complete dishonored this weekend, and than I'll continue my frontier adventures in AssCreed 3. Since I read it's quite massive, I think it will be the only game I'll play in December.

Once in a while I'll play Red faction: Armageddon (I found it to be not impressive but quite fun to play) and a bit of Company of heroes here and there.

I finished Max Payne 3 a few days ago, I think I'll get started with Dishonoured so I can say I didn't waste money if it turns out to be cheaper in the upcoming Steam sale than the £11.25 I got it for in the GMG sale.

If it wasn't so woefully under budget it would have been a brilliant game I think.

Well, there are certain parts of it that were quite cool. The jetpack is definitely a cool addition. Reminds me a lot of the Tribes series, except that you could only fly for a really short distance in Section 8: Prejudice, and there was no skiing. As for the plot, it seems like they wanted to tell an "epic" story, but only had 8 levels. It felt like they tried to ram in a few pieces of backstory but it didn't quite have any lasting effect. And about the megaweapon that the villain wanted to use... A biological weapon, stored in about 10 barrels? Which take about 30 seconds to blow up. And when you blow it up, you can see the biological agent disperse into the air... Yeah, nice going... ;) You didn't really get a sense of dread...

I am currently playing Skyrim, Duels of the Planeswalkers, Eador, Faster than Light, and Fallen Enchantress. These games are either not completable in a meaningful sense or completing them is beside the point. So I don't think I'm going to do a good job. Perhaps I will try again to play Human Resources this month and finish off Defender's Quest so at least I can say I completed something.

WoW, MWO, NS2, LoL. Hard to finish games when majority of the time is being spent on online games.

Been playing a lil Bastion testing out my PS3 controller (bluetooth is flaky, might just get a 360 controller receiver). Tempted to get a 30ft hdmi cable and try Steam Big Picture. Assuming my video card will do sound over hdmi. (Imagine it does but never tried it.)

Playing some Machinarium on my Nexus 7. Probably had it 2-3 times before on PC from bundles, but wanted to try something fun on the new tablet. Might be my game beat for December.
